Elixir Phosphor Bronze Anti-Rust Strings provide a rich, expressive tone distinctive of Phosphor Bronze strings with the life span of coated strings. The key is the thin layer of Nanoweb coating that Elixir uses on the strings to help prevent contamination and corrosion from invading the strings' "critical zone of tone". Elixir Phosphor Bronze Strings extend the "sweet spot" of phosphor bronze tone for the entire life of the string which can be up to 5x that of uncoated strings.

Anti-rust plated plain steel strings extend the life of plain steel strings by 3-5 times. Elixir's breakthrough plating process works to prevent rust and corrosion to give you fresh feel and tone every time you pick up your guitar.
